Re: Servo Motor Issues
Hey, I'm not a programmer or electrical guy but we were having the same issue and we found out that all you need is a jumper connecting the 2 pins next to where you plug the servo in on the side car. The servo runs on 6 volts and the pwm pins only give 5 volts (I think). It was kinda funny because we thought that every servo we had was somehow defective. We literally tested like 7 servos.

Hope that helps and good luck to you and your team!
